“David did wonderful, even with my older cat with her meds. He made sure Scooter took her meds. Communication was great. Pictures every day. The cats ate all their food for David, even better than for me. Thanks David.”
“Melissa went above and beyond all of our expectations for her. We were contacted with pictures and text letting us know how our dog was doing each time she came to house. A++++. Fully recommend Melissa to anyone who needs a pet sitter. ”
“Our 3 kitties absolutely love Ja! She's a true lover of animals and understands how hard it is to leave our babies at home when we leave. She provides stellar communication with photos, has very good attention to detail, asks questions, and spends real quality time with the kitties. We feel incredibly at ease when Ja is looking after our little pack!”
About: I’ve had a couple dog sits/walks for the parents of the kids I babysit. I’ve fed, walked, and stayed overnight for many families in the area. Im currently working full time as a computer technician at a middle school. I work 7-3 and have an hour lunch which I go home to walk my own dog. I have a super friendly dog, Miz, and he loves to have friends to play with. He’s a gentle 70lb giant! I would rather watch your dog/cat in my home but am open to watching in yours too.
“Theresa was absolutely the best with my dog Sissy. She had great communication, was timely, and an absolute blessing to find for Sissy. Thank you so much! We will be booking again for sure!”
About: My family has had pets my entire life, including large breed dogs such as huskies and bully breeds, cats, reptiles, and amphibians. I frequently pet sit for family and friends, which ranges from stopping in for potty breaks on a long work day or in-house pet sitting for up to a week at a time. I am a freelancer so my schedule is super flexible and I am looking forward to making your fur babies a consistent part of it! I follow client instructions to the T: always on time, no unapproved snacks (no need for upset bellies!), and following the pets' lead when they take a little extra time to warm up
“Lindsay is a dependable caregiver. She took care of my dog at the last minute. I loved the pictures she sent too. I will use her again when I need someone responsible to care for my Boba. 🐕”
“Sarah was very good at taking care of our cats, especially the old one that is on a special diet. She sent details of our cat’s health and routine diligently. I am going to contract her services in our next trip for sure! Thanks Sarah for taking care of our loved cat ladies!”
About: I’m familiar with almost every breed, and have been training them since I was 10 years old. My last dog was a therapy dog I took into nursing homes, but his time has past. :( I have all my time to spend with your pets. I am available weekends too, very flexible schedule. Will walk daily and play with them depending on age etc. I have a fenced in yard with no other pets. I am looking for a dog for myself to adopt and turn into a therapy dog, so I don’t mind training or corrective actions if wanted/ needed. I don’t like crates, but that’s me, and will respect your wishes. If at your house, you make the rules and I follow them, willing to FaceTime etc. whatever you need.

About: I’ve grew up around German shepherds since I was 5 and I’ve always found to love just playing and taking care of them. I am good with taking care of dogs with high energy and even anxious dogs as well. Im very patient to each and every dogs needs and that not every dog needs the same care. My goal is when you see your dog again they feel happy, safe and loved while I’m caring for them I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can also provide care on weekdays, especially after 12 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I have a safe and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I have one older, friendly dog who is used to being around other animals. Since my yard isn’t fenced, I make sure pets are always supervised outside and safely leashed when needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and crate time if needed. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allentown
I was really nervous to have my 2 cats pet-sat for the first time, but there was no reason to be! Justina was awesome, and my cats loved her, even the fickle Siamese one. 😂 During the 9 days my husband and I were gone, she provided liberal amounts of photos and updates. She also left our house clean and tidy afterwards. We will definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Allentown is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,437 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Allentown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allentown. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
